I've pretty much decided on running Skaven at the NoVA Open (tickets for the Fantasy side of things have not gone on sale, yet).

I've been telling myself all year that I'm going to try to get the list that I'd been playing fully painted before doing anything drastic (swapping units, etc) with the army. This should push me to really drive to make that a reality.

The list I'm planning on running (with room for some mild tweaking: item swaps, an extra couple of bodies-- but not more than that):

The army's not, done but it's close. So very, very close. I've plugged everything I need into the same sort of Excel sheet I used last year to track my progress with my Daemons. There are some notable differences: I'm using Google Spreadsheets instead of Excel, for one. Even more significantly, a very large portion of the work ahead will involve rebasing already painted minis: I've got a number of models based on generic static grass bases (seen here), but have done all of my newer models in the more interesting, display board friendly, cavern scheme.

So, while I'm 56% done, I'm actually 83% done if you ignore the need to rebase 50 models. I'd be even farther along, I suppose, but most of the stuff I have left to do are big things: the Abomination, the Furnace, the display board.
